ABERDEEN, UK — The Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC) has appointed Palantir Technologies and InDHu as partners for delivery of its Offshore Energy Data Architecture (OEDA) project.
The aim is to demonstrate how to secure, capture and make available critical data to the offshore sector in an open and collaborative manner. Other supporters of the project are Energy Systems Catapult, Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, Offshore Energy UK, the North Sea Transition Authority, Open Data Institute and Baring.
OEDA will establish a prototype data sharing service, using Palantir’s `Foundry Platform’, allowing for controlled sharing and analysis of data, and allowing end-users of all levels of technical ability to connect to integrated data and models.
Findings should help inform oil and gas operators of potential measures for cutting their emissions, also providing governance and security controls to ensure data integrity.
The project builds on a recommendation in the Digitalising Offshore Energy Systems report, published by the Offshore Energy Data Strategy (OEDS) Taskforce, to develop a common data toolkit.
It is also one of seven projects being delivered through the Net Zero Technology Transition Programme (NZTTP), which was a grant of £16.5 million ($20.11 million) from the Scottish Government’s Energy Transition Fund to transform the North Sea energy system.
Blair O’Connor, OEDA Project Manager from the NZTC, said: “The OEDA project offers a unique opportunity to build on the industry recommendations from the OEDS Taskforce report, which highlights the need to adopt existing digital technologies and realise the critical role data sharing plays in integrating the offshore energy network.
“Industry project partners with significant expertise in creating data sharing environments will play an important role in helping establish an interconnected data ecosystem. This will help remove data silos, improve transparency and ensure emissions reduction techniques are implemented across the industry.”
